Overview

Nodes are the primary objects that make up an ::LibXML::XML document. The node class represents most node types that are found in an ::LibXML::XML document (but not Attributes, see Attr). It exposes libxml’s full API for creating, querying moving and deleting node objects. Many of these methods are documented in the DOM Level 3 specification found at: www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/.

Determine whether this node escapes it’s output or not.

Text nodes return only true or false. Element and attribute nodes examine their immediate text node children to determine the value. Any other type of node always returns nil.

If an element or attribute node has at least one immediate child text node and all the immediate text node children have the same output_escaping? value, that value is returned. Otherwise, nil is returned.

Instance Method Details

#curr_node(<< "Some text") #<<(node)

Add the specified text or Node as a new child node to the current node.

If the specified argument is a string, it should be a raw string that contains unescaped ::LibXML::XML special characters. Entity references are not supported.

The method will return the current node.

#remove!Node

Removes this node and its children from the document tree by setting its document, parent and siblings to nil. You can add the returned node back into a document. Otherwise, the node will be freed once any references to it go out of scope.

}

#to_s ⇒ "string" #to_s(:indent) ⇒ true, :encoding

Converts a node, and all of its children, to a string representation. To include only the node’s children, use the the #inner_xml method.

You may provide an optional hash table to control how the string is generated. Valid options are:

:indent - Specifies if the string should be indented. The default value is true. Note that indentation is only added if both :indent is true and LibXML::XML.indent_tree_output is true. If :indent is set to false, then both indentation and line feeds are removed from the result.

:level - Specifies the indentation level. The amount of indentation is equal to the (level * number_spaces) + number_spaces, where libxml defaults the number of spaces to 2. Thus a level of 0 results in 2 spaces, level 1 results in 4 spaces, level 2 results in 6 spaces, etc.

:encoding - Specifies the output encoding of the string. It defaults to XML::Encoding::UTF8. To change it, use one of the Encoding encoding constants.
